Faye Meana, the London artist known for her genre-blending sound, has just unveiled her latest EP, ‘ninety8.’ This six-track project is a sonic journey through time, combining elements of '80s disco with modern R&B and electronic touches, all while celebrating the diverse cultural influences that have shaped her artistry.
‘ninety8’ features the brand-new single "Run," along with previously released tracks like "On & On," "No Hay Que Llorar," and "Can’t Be Replaced." With each track on the EP showcasing Faye Meana’s ability to infuse nostalgia with contemporary flair, Meana is creating a sound that is both retro and forward-thinking.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind ‘ninety8,’ Faye Meana shares that the EP is a nod to the year she was born, a time when she began soaking up the musical influences that would later define her style. The EP is a tribute to her mother’s love of disco, which plays a significant role in the project’s vibrant, danceable energy. Tracks like "On & On" and "Can’t Be Replaced" are infused with the upbeat, glittering essence of the '80s, while also incorporating elements of dream pop and soulful R&B.
The EP’s featured single, "Run," continues this nostalgic theme with a dreamy, whirling production that captures the vulnerability of heightened emotions and the desire to retreat from the world. Meanwhile, "No Hay Que Llorar," a spellbinding track that mixes Spanish and English vocals, draws inspiration from reggaeton and marks Meana’s first foray into bilingual music. The Latin-inspired "So Badly" and the warm, textured production of "Catch" round out the EP, each track further emphasizing the wanderlust and cultural fusion that define Faye Meana’s sound.
With her recent performance at Cross The Tracks festival and the release of ‘ninety8,’ Faye Meana continues to solidify her place as an innovative force in the music industry. As she looks to the future, her ability to craft music that resonates with listeners on both a nostalgic and contemporary level is sure to keep her star on the rise.
